I've been looking into the Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program for a while however I am finding it too difficult to find a job without have a visa to work. So I am looking into the possibility of the Federal Skilled Worker I have looked at the points system and my score is 74. My question is how the pool works if I have a score just over 67 then do I have a lower chance of getting the Visa granted. If anyone has any information on this it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Callum.

My CRS score is only 482 which by the looks of things is far too low, are there any others alternatives for working in Canada without having a job offer, I'm not nessecerly looking for PR just yet if its not possible.

Thank you for the last message it has been very reassuring. My last question regarding this would be if I would be invited for PR then would there be a time limit for me to enter Canada as I am currently working in New Zealand and would have to give enough notice to leave?

I am sorry to bother you again but I have made a mistake with 1 of the questions on the CRS I actually only have 418 which isn't enough going back to my 2nd question are you aware of any other options to working in Canada without having a job offer.

Ah, ok, then that won't be enough. Are you sure though, that doesn't seem to match up with a FSW score of 74? So do double check both, as if you're scoring 74 on the FSW points score you'd normally get more than 418 on the CRS.

There are options, depending on various things. What do you do, how old are you, and which province are you looking to move to?

Cal500

I have just tried the FSW again and I got 74 the mistake I made with the CRS is that I have no work experience in Canada which dropped me down. I am happy to live in any province I am 25 years old and I am a Guest Relations Manager in a Hilton Hotel. With a 3 year Bachelor University Degree.

Can you break that down for us?

Aha! In which case, have a look at the IEC visa - it's a 2 year open work permit for those aged 30 and under, no job offer required. Visas have all gone for this year, but you could apply under the 2020 program.

Is that the one that is where I would be put in a pool and maybe get the visa my only worry with that is that i would be looking at supporting a partner and she is from country not on the IEC list from everything I've looked at i'm thinking the AIPP is going to be my best chance and to try and find a job in one of the Atlantic Provences.
I have 1 year experience at NOC lvl 0 and 1 year at lvl B, I have a 3 year Bachelor and I have top scores on my IELTS.

Sort of, but although it's a lottery there shouldn't be any issue with you getting a visa if you apply early. There were only 954 people that didn't get a visa last year (out of 20,000+), and I suspect they all applied when the quota was running low.

Personal question, but do you live together and have you done so for a year or more? If so, she could also get an open work permit for the same duration as yours once you have a skilled job.

Cal500

Its no problem we are engaged and have been living together for over a year so they could work then, how long does it take for the pools to complete for the IEC?

christmasoompa

Sorry, not sure what you mean?

Cal500

Oh sorry I am a engaged and we have been living together for over a year so from what i can gather i would need to the there and be in one of the 3 skilled job categories then she would be able to apply for an open work visa.
